Harmonic Highlights

  • The repeated Eb07 serves as a chromatic passing diminished chord, adding a sophisticated, moving color between various forms of the C tonic (C6 to Cmaj7).
  • An extensive prolongation of the Dm7 chord creates a sustained ii-minor tension, demanding creative melodic development and building anticipation.
  • The Ab7 chord, a bVI7, leads chromatically to G7 (V7), introducing an advanced secondary dominant or tritone substitution flavor that intensifies the pull towards the tonic.

Improvisation Focus Diminished Scale Application

Difficulty Rating 4 (Advanced Intermediate). This reflects the blend of common diatonic harmony with challenging chromatic diminished and bVI7 alterations that require specific scale choices.
